The store I bought it at, says I need to go directly to Western Digital to claim my warranty and ask for a replacement (so typical!). I went to the WD site and the phone number for my country was not working. Ugh. I filed an automatic replacement request and they're now going to send me a new EHD. I then have 30 days to send my old one back. So my data will not get recovered
I only hope that it's just the adapter!! Then I can plug in the adapter of the replacement disk to recover my backups from the old one!! If that doesn't work, I will have lost everything on it.
